Ok while I know the world does not revolve around me and I am totally not angry at anyone I am a little dissapointed at how it looks like the night before my wedding is going to turn out..I am staying in a hotel suite in the city the night before while FH is staying at our apt. Even before I was engaged I always pictured that the night before I would have my bestest friends (My BMs of course), my mom and my godmother stay with me and we could do a mini slumber party together. I always imagined how fun it would be doing girly stuff at night, waking up and having a big breakfast together! Well it turns out that is not happening. Most of my BMs aren't coming (so far only one person said they would be there), and while some of them have very valid reasons, (one has a baby, the other is FSIL and she has family staying at her house the night before, etc etc) I sitll can't help but feel a little bummed. To make matters worse, my mom and godmother both basically told me they can't stay with me either! (my mom has to take care of my 9 yr old brother and my godmother has people at her house too). So now I am going to be in a big suite with HOPEFULLY one BM but with my luck something will happen and I will be all alone the night before my wedding. The thought of that depresses the h ell out of me! Am I being a big baby about this?? What are you all doing the night before the wedding?? Maybe if I get a feel of what other girls are doing I will feel better (or worse depending! )

Awwww You're not being a baby AT ALL! I have the same vision, I reserved two adjoining suites and plan on having at least 6 people and my dog (a girl also) stay over for a slumber party- complete with Sex and the City DVD's.
I would extend the invitation to friends NOT in the bridal party. All you need is 1 or 2 good friends, some wine, board games....it will be a great time. Everything will work out! Your slumber party will happen. Maybe not exactly how you pictured but maybe even better than you imagined.

I don' t think you are being a baby. You had an idea in your head and now it's not happening. What can you do though. At least this way you'll get a good night's sleep.

Re: Am I being a baby??
I don't think you are being a baby, but you have to understand, that while this is your wedding and all, it is still putting others in the position of having to have company stay at their homes, some will have been so tied up with all of the other pre-wedding parties and what not that another night away from home could be troublesome. I don't think you are wrong to be upset if you had hopes of doing this but I don't think you should be upset with people for not being able to go all the way into the city to spend the night with you when they all have to make additional special arrangements then too. I for one am looking forward to having those few hours to myself to mentally prepare myself and calm nerves before the big day :) Take it as an opportunity to get a little extra rest and have some 'you' time :)

You're not being a baby at all. I would be upset too. Do you have any cousins or friends not in the BP that could keep you company?

The sad thing is... no, I don't.. I only have 3 female cousins here. Two of them have young kids so I would never ask them to be away from them. The other is upset that I got engaged because 'Nicole is the youngest out of us all so it is not fair SHE is getting married first' I have been engaged for almost a year and she has not once said congratulations to me so F her...
While I understand everyone is saying I should enjoy the time alone I know that wont happen. I have been really depressed lately thinking about how my stepfather wont be at my wedding and I know if I am left alone all night I am just going to be sad. I guess I was just hoping that I could spend some time with a few girlfriends so I can have fun and not be alone crying all night..
